I attended Everest Institute in Eagan, Minnesota full-time from June 2011 through March 2012, earning my diploma in Massage Therapy after the 720 hour accredited program.  I graduated with a 4.0 GPA as a Class Ambassador, which is awarded to students with consistently high quality standards and leadership potential.  I am a Certified Massage Therapist (CMT), licensed in the city of Saint Paul (LMT), Nationally Certified (MBLEx), as well as a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals organization (ABMP).

I conceived BODHI Massage Therapy in 2003, while working in my corporate cubicle, as a way to combine my spiritual practice with a full body, mind, and spirit wellness center for individuals searching for ways to maintain mental & spiritual clarity.  The word BODHI (pronounced just like “body”) is derived from the Buddhist word for enlightenment, and serves to be an indication of what I hope you will receive through the services I offer.  Using massage and meditation, I hope to help you find and retain a level of mental & physical relaxation, spiritual peace, and harmony in your life.  I live by my own life philosophy: “Live Life.  Love Life.  Live Good.”

I was born and raised in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, and continue to reside there with my partner.  In my spare time, I’m an avid writer, focusing on spiritual writing, poetry, and reflective and nostalgic writings.  I’m also a self professed “foodie” and enjoy seeking out and enjoying those small, unknown specialties that are hidden out in the Twin Cities.  Whenever I find a place I love, it feels like I’ve found a hidden treasure.

I’m a kid at heart, and enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephew, as well as my partner and the rest of my family.

I thank you ahead of time for choosing to visit me.  I hope I am able to help you find a little Peace and relaxation, so that you can live life, love life, and live good.
